Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or Wii?

There's a big difference in each system, it really depends on your personal decision on what to get.  Whether it's particular games you are after or just console power itself, you can find some quick help here before you make your ultimate decision.

Playstation 3

This console is the best built and has more capability than any other system out there. It has a wide variety of games including the next series of Metal Gear Solid. The controller is not very different than Playstation 1 and 2. As every console rises in one, the PS3 features a Dualshock 3 controller. It had a huge harddrive that you can store pictures or other things on. Playing online with other players around the world is free of charge, and it has a built in wi-fi reciever to play online with.

Xbox 360

There is certainly a vast majority of people who prefer this system over others. Me personally, no. The controller is a bit different than the Xbox controller. It is wireless and uses batteries (be sure to have rechargeables!). There are many games on this console that feature multiplayer online (you AND a friend can play online on the same console). You have to pay for Xbox live though. You must also buy a LAN adapter to connect to the internet as it does not have built in wifi reciever (unless you are connected through a wire). You may end up paying an extra $75-$100 if you want to go wireless.

Nintendo Wii

"Wii would like to play" This console outshadows all others when it comes down to family fun. The controller is so unique and will give you a gaming experience like no other. The Wii contains all of the best titles such as Mario, Zelda, Metroid. You can also go into the Wii Shop and buy all of your favorite classic Nintendo games. Unlike it's rival systems, the games are $50 brand new, and you don't need to pay for any online activities. Be cautious as the online multiplyer on the Wii is probably the worst of all systems. By the end of 2009, it will be getting stronger. Look up a game called The Conduit to see what the Wii has coming!

Hope it helped, now go buy your new console!
